Portman 'wants to spend pregnancy in bed'

Natalie Portman has confessed that she is keen to escape the spotlight for the remainder of her pregnancy.

The Black Swan actress - who announced that she is expecting her first child with fiancé Benjamin Millepied last month - revealed that she plans to spend the coming months "in bed" where she can relax.

"I hope I'll get to lie in bed and eat popcorn and watch TV for the rest of it," she told People.

"Not always be out in public looking like a whale, but it's all nice energy that everyone is showing."

Portman went on to say that she feels "lucky" to have the opportunity to become a parent, adding: "I feel happy and I think when you're happy you're always glowing.
